He hired her to keep him alive. He did not expect to lose control.When bullets replace boardroom deals, the only rule is survival.Aurora Lane stopped believing in heroes the day her police partner died in her arms. She quit the force, traded her badge for a security license, and built one rule into her life: never get close to the client. Emotions get people killed. So when Titan Industries CEO Damian Cross offers her 7 figures to be his personal bodyguard for 90 days, she doesn’t hesitate. The contract is simple. Clause 1: Protect his life at all costs. Clause 2: No feelings. No touching. Clause 3: Walk away when the 90 days end. Damian Cross built a billion-dollar empire before age 35. Cold. Calculated. Feared by competitors and betrayed by his own board. Someone wants him dead. Poisoned drinks. Sabotaged cars. Sniper rounds through his office window. The threats escalated after he refused to sign over his company to a hostile takeover. Now his life depends on a woman who refuses to look him in the eye.Aurora was supposed to be invisible. A shadow behind him. A gun at his back. Not the woman who notices when he doesn’t sleep. Not the woman who patches his wound after an attack in his own penthouse. Not the woman who hears him talk to his dead father’s photo at 3AM when he thinks no one is listening.Damian was supposed to see her as staff. Nothing more. Not the guard who takes a bullet for him during a gala ambush. Not the woman whose hands are steady when everyone else panics. Not the only person who calls him out when his CEO mask cracks and shows the exhausted man underneath.But contracts don’t account for proximity. For late-night stakeouts in armored cars. For him teaching her how to read financial markets while she teaches him how to disarm a knife. For shared silences that feel louder than words. For the way his voice drops when he says her name. For the way her rulebook starts burning the longer she stays.Clause 2 says: No feelings. Clause 2 says: No touching. The enemy is getting closer. The board wants him gone. His own family has secrets. And Aurora realizes the biggest threat isn’t the assassin hunting Damian. It’s the way she starts wanting to stay past 90 days. Because Damian Cross doesn’t beg. He doesn’t chase. He doesn’t break rules. Until her.He starts leaving her coffee exactly how she likes it. He starts standing between her and danger without thinking. He starts looking at her like she’s the one thing in his world that isn’t for sale.Aurora starts breaking her own rules. She starts memorizing the scar on his jaw. She starts choosing him over protocol. She starts wondering what would happen if she ignored Clause 2.But the contract has a deadline. The assassins have a deadline. And the truth has a deadline.When Aurora discovers Damian has been hiding why he was really targeted - a secret that could destroy both their lives - she has to choose. Uphold the contract and walk away. Or break every rule she has and risk everything to save the man she was never supposed to want.90 days. 1 contract. 2 broken rules. 0 guarantees they’ll survive.He hired her to guard his body. She ended up guarding his heart. Now they both have to decide if breaking the contract is worth losing each other.#BillionaireCEO #BodyguardRomance #ForcedProximity #SlowBurn #90DayContract #NoFeelingsNoTouching`
